The Game Awards 2025 | Expedition 33 Sweep, Trailers & Red Dead Redemption Remaster | NightHawk & Vercetti Podcast Ep. 4

The Game Awards 2025 had a clean sweep, banger trailers and a LOT to argue about. In this episode of the NightHawk & Vercetti Podcast, we talk about Expedition 33’s clean sweep to the ongoing “what even counts as an RPG?” and "Is Expedition 33 really an Indie?" debate.

We talk about how Expedition 33 dominated multiple categories, why its music deserves a full album release, and whether Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 could (or should) have won Best RPG. We also discuss the controversy around Expedition 33 winning Best Indie despite having a multi-million dollar budget.

Also, we react to the biggest trailers revealed at The Game Awards and share our early impressions of the Red Dead Redemption 1 PC & PS5 remaster/port from performance to nostalgia.
